Color Blindness in Germ any.

Some interesting results have been
yielded by an extensive investigation
into the prevalence of color blind
ness on German railways. The inquiry
which lasted several years-the latest
data having been obtained on July 1,
1886-was extended to seventy-nine
railways. OF 1ol,743 persons tested
from April 1, 1882, to July 1, 1886, $50,
or 81 per cent, were found to be color
blind. OF 239. 726 persons tested up to
July of last gear, 1884, or 81 per cent.
were color blind, while of 145,456 Of
ficers and servants employed on the
seventy-nine railways on July 1, 1856,
100 were entirely and AL partially
color blind, a percentage of 81. The
methods of testing were chiefly the Still
ling method (by means of color plates)
and the Holmgren method (by means
of colored wooen threads); but the
Daae, Cohn, Schmidt and Rimpler
methods were also adopted. In 16. pol
cases the test was repeated, and 305
times did the results differ from former
results. The officials of German rail
ways who are color blind have been
given duties in the discharge of which
their incapacity can have no ill result,
so that there is no danger in their con-
tinued employnent-PaU Mall Gazette.

THE GIRLS OF TO-DAY,
The Noble Womanhood Into Which They
VIII Undoubtedly Como.

VIII Undoubtedly Como.
Nice as most girls are, they are not all
of the kind to make matrimony state
of bliss and husbands content with
their lot. For in this thickly-throngcd
field of girlhood are the peevish and the
CONTRADICTIONS, the selfish and the ex-
travagant, the idle and the careless, the
jealous and the unloving, the stupid and
the obstinate, the flirts who encourage
unseemly attentions, and the future
mothers who will think their children
so many hindrances to pleasure, and
who will not have in their hearts either
human love or animal instinct for their
young. The heaven is not always all
pure blue-fowers are not all perfect
and fragrant; and humanity is like the
rest of fnature-when beautiful and love-
worthy. then most delightful-when
hacked and scanned and marred, then
not by any means delightful! But on
the whole the choice girls far outnum-
ber those who are not choice. The
elders of the generation may not like
this new folly and that fresh affectation
but those elders must remember that
each new generation makes its own
shibboleths, has its own fashions. and
that youth must needs be foolish, else it
would not be youth at all. That pump.
handle shake is hideous and ungrace-
full; SO are those aggressive elbows stuck
out at right angles from the shoulders
to tho hip; so is that silly fashion of
quasi-masculinity in dress; and worse
than foolish is the affectation of manly
thought and freedom from feminine
modesties-of manly license and alb
sence of feminine restraints. But all
this effervcsence will work off in time
and leave the golden liquid clear and
sweet--until another fermentation sets
in, with the same process of running
clear when it is over. Our grave gran
nics-our sweet mothers ourselves,
now grannies and mothers to the pres
ent young-have all had the affectations
and follies of youth in our time. Let
us then be patient with our girls, and
lovingly confident of the noble woman
hood into which they will eventually
come .--London Queen.

FEMININE FANCIES.

Hints Concerning the Latest Foreign and
Domestic Dress Novelties.
Repped silks are combined with plain
with excellent effect.
The use of long trains upon toilets
for dressy occasions is said to be on the
increase.
Striped gros-grain in two or three
colors is a recent addition to the list of
drcssy materials.
Strips of black ribbon covered with
puffs of Malines net or lace are used to
form square pockets on polonaises.
Skirts of lace are worn with draper
les of other materials, even cashmere
and other light woolens being made up
in this way.
Bordered fabrics recently received
have embroidered selvagcs of palms, or
Persian or other Oriental designs,
either in the same or various colors.
An arrangement for touching up a
plain bodice consists of detachable
revers Of velvet coming from the shou]-
ders to waist, with four folds inside
them near the front
The high colors of combination
dresses are made of two materials, the
main portion being of the dress ma
terial, and that above the plastron Of
the material of the plastron.
1t is said that the covert jacket for
fall wear will be made in cloths of all
colors to match the costume, instead of
in the invariable pretty color which
was seen so often in the spring as to be-
come tiresome.
Pretty lace aprons are made of skirt
widths Of Oriental or other laces, in
black, ecru or white. A yard of
founcing is used, which is cut off at the
top to make the required length. This
is finished at the sides with hem or an
edging of lace, and top is gathered
over a ribbon, which forms the belt and
strings.
Plain long fourreaus are to be worn,
made of velvet plush cloth and even
cashmere. For the latter considerable
braided velvet will be used-a great
deal for the trimming of the cloth or
cashmere it will ornament. The front
of the skirts, in bands edged with gold
braid and plaitings, will be made of
cloth striped with the velvet instead OF
lace.-N Y. Mail and Express.

ENEMIES OF BEES.
Insects That Will, Unless Exterminated II
Time, Destroy Entire Swarms.

Insects That Will, Unless Exterminated In
Time, Destroy Entire SwarIns.
The honey bee has number of enc
mies:- The mosquito hawk or Dragon
fly, the bee-killer (Asilus)-a tachina
fly, reported to lay its eggs in the bodies
of bccs-ants, and some large spiders,
which entangle bees in their webs. The
king bird, toads, mice. all these arc
thought more or less destructive to bees.
The really destructive enemy, however,
is the bee moth (Galleria Cereana.) 1t
is the largest of the tineas. The moth
lays its eggs in the minutest of cracks.
The larva protects itself by web, and
if not intcrfercd with will eventually
destroy the swarm, completely cnvelop-
ing the comb.
In its perfect or adult state it is a
winged moth OF miller. measuring. from
the head to the tip of the closed wings.
from five-eighths to three-quarters of
an inch in length, and its wings expand
from one inch and one-tenth to one
inch and four-tenths. The fcelers are
two in number; and the tongue is very
short, and hardly visible. The fore
wings shut together fiat on the top of
the back. slope steeply downward at
the sides, and are turned up at the end,
somewhat like the tail of fowl.
The male is of dusky gray color,
his fore wings are more or less CLOSED
and streaked with purple-brown on the
outer edge; they have a few dark brown
spots near the inner margin, and they
are scalloped or notched inwardly at
the end; his hind wings are light yell
lowish-gray, with whitish fringes. The
female is much larger than the male
and much darker-colored; her fore
wings are proportionately longer, not
So deeply. notcled on the outer hind
margin, and not SO much turned up at
the end; they are more tinged with
purple-brown, sprinkled with darker
spots; and the hind wings are dirty or
grayish white. There are two broods
of these insects in the course of a year.
Some winged moths of the first brood
begin to appear toward the end OF
April or early in May; those of the
second brood are most abundant in
August; but between these periods, and
even later, others come to perfection,
and consequently some of them may be
found during tile greater part of tho
summer. By day they remain quiet On
the sides or in the crevices of the bee
house; but, if disturbed at this time.
they open their wings little and spring
or glide swiftly. away, SO that it is very
difficult to seize or to hold them.-

Lost Rivers of idaho.

One of the most singular features in
the scenery of the Territory of Idaho
is the occurrence of dark. rocky chasms.
into which large streams and creeks
suddenly disappear, and are never more
seen. These assures are old lava chan
nels, produced by the outside OF the
molten mass cooling and forming a
tube, which, on the fiery stream becom-
ing exhausted, has been left empty,
while the roof of the lava duct, hav-
ing at some point fallen in, presents
there the opening into which the river
plunges and is lost. At one place along
the banks of the Snake, one of these
rivers reappears gushing from cleft
high up in the basaltic walls, where it
leaps cataract into the torrent below.
Where this stream has its origin, or at
what point it is swallowed up, is utterly
unknown, though it is believed that its
sources are long way up in the north
country.-Goldcn Days.

DAKOTA'S DISTINCTION

The TRIBUNE's report of the Grand
Forks fair presented on another page is
something more than a report. It is a
generalization in the least possible space
of the distinctive productive results OF
North Dakota. It shows that the great
cereal wheat is not necessarily the per-
manent and chief mainstay of our new
civilization. Wheat may never be dis.
placed, but it will and should be supple
mented with the stock industry in all OF
it's ramifcations. It is true that the
climate and grasses of Dakota are re.
markably favorable to cattle and sheep
culture. Horses thrive equally we'll, and
there is no reason why the cattle, horses
and sheep of Dakota should not become
famous in the markets on two continents
1t is the climate and soil that make the
No. 1 hard possible; and,as climate and
nutritious grasses are prime essentials in
making beef and blood, the stock of Da.
kota should become celebrated. Starting
with the thoroughbreds represented al
Grand Forks, the success of this great
agricultural supplement should be as
rapid as it will be beneficial. Make room
for more stock!

AND now comes the Public Opinion OF

division question than any of 'em-in
fact reasoning on the basis that division
is already accomplished-saying: zone.
fourth of Dakota, in area as large as
Ohio and Indiana, is as large as any state
should be in justice to posterity, and
neither North nor South Dakota should
be admitted as states without the express
provision that hereafter when the popu.
lation of either section shall have become
sufficient to demand it, that it shall be
divided and two states erected where but
one existed before. In no other way can
equality of representation and equality
between the different sections of the ma.
tions be secured to the generations yet
to come"

The Pierre Free Press, itself in favor
of high license and strict regulation,
finds the following to be the reason why
local option is likely to carry in Hughes
county: t.,
The saloon keepers are largely RESPONSE.
BILE for having prohibition enacted, if in
deed it is; they have pitted intolerance
against what they are pleased to term fan
aticism; they have gone into party caucus
and conventions and then ruthlessly
knitted the tickets nominated. because, for
sooth, some of the nominees would not
spend their hard earned cash with them:
they have tried to indicate the policy of
the city government; they have been bit
ter and abusive to those who honestly be-
lieve the liquor traffic wrong; they make a
personal matter of what is only public
policy; they see no good in any person or
set of men who refuse to patronize them;
they are unwilling to give those the right
of thinking and acting for themselves: the
public must bow down and worship at
their throne or be forever damned; they
would revive the days of inquisition, if by
so doing they could carry their ends; their
own intolerance is fastening the day when
the public bar will disappear forever.
